Top Ten Relaxation Techniques To Reduce Stress

#8 Mindfulness for stress relief
Mindfulness is nothing but staying conscious on your present feelings and keeping track of your innermost emotions and how the same reflects on your outer being. Avoid engaging your mind in things like harsh self-judgment, playing blame games on others or constantly worrying about future; as these activities lead straight to excessive mental stress. Mindfulness can be achieved by staying tranquil and alert in the current moment as this will stabilize the nervous system. IT can also be achieved through actions such as walking, eating, exercising and meditation. Meditation techniques play a key role in cultivating mindfulness and in reducing overwhelming stress.
